We don't need a stash. We have a printing press.

I wonder what 410 billion would mean to a country with a GDP of 19 trillion or so...  Heck, Obama did an 800 billion stimulus in his first year on top of a massive budget for the most astounding deficit in dollars and percentages in history and it was about as noticeable as a flea on an elephants butt.


The only "Stash" we need is to get the governments foot off the throat of business. Then our biggest concern is an overheated economy..

 Forget about a balanced budget. We target a balanced deficit. That is a deficit that is not the worst one in history.

And Trump is working to reduce our deficit, not like the clown preceding him who doubled the deficit during his eight years with nothing to show but transgender support.  Bring out the military tribunals and throw the treasonous libtards in jail.

" In FY 2017 the federal deficit was $665 billion. But the gross federal debt increased by $670 billion. Here is why. This year, FY 2018, the federal government in its latest budget has estimated that the deficit will be $833 billion. "

Lacey, $833 billon would be the 5th largest in history, when there is much bragging about how robust the economy is. The other 4 occurred when Obama inherited the economic nightmare o f 2008/2009.

Looking at the deficit in raw dollars can be a little misleading.  Deficit as a percentage of GDP is far more meaningful.
